Seven trends at Sweets & Snacks 2017

Chickpeas add a healthful boost to traditional salty snacks, including chips, puffs and crackers on display at the Sweets & Snacks Expo. In addition to the roasted and seasoned varieties from such brands as GoBitos from GLK Foods and Lebby Snacks, product manufacturers are using chickpea flour in formulations. Examples include The Daily Crave Quinoa Chips, a range of snack chips combining quinoa with lentils, green peas and chickpeas, and Saffron Road ChickBean Crisps, made from milled chickpeas, lentil, pea and sweet potato bits.
